Freedom to Read

Posted by Daniel on Feb 25, 2013

It's Freedom to Read Week and our friend Brian Busby has chosen to commemorate the event with a delightful post on his books blog, The Dusty Bookcase.

Brian has dug up an old article from the archives of The Vancouver Sun dating back to 1954 when a group of Vancouver's respectable citizens tried to stage a book burning. Or, to be more accurate, a comic book burning.

To its credit, the Sun denounced the plan as "Hitlerism", but the "comic clean up campaign" continued anyway.
